Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

XI, 324 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Kopfschnitt minimal angegraut, sonst guter Zustand / top edge minimally grayed, otherwise good condition. - C. S. Lewis is universally recognized as one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century. A noted scholar, Lewis was able to reach a vast popular audience during his lifetime and continues to attract thousands of new readers every year. But how did Lewis first become a popular public figure? During the most desperate years of World War II, Lewis was asked by the British Broadcasting Corporations recently created Home Service to give radio addresses on Christianity to a nation shaken by war. The choice was controversial. At first dismissed by critics as a layman who was unqualified to tackle such weighty issues, Lewis proved to be enormously persuasive. These radio talks were eventually published as Mere Christianity, which now ranks as one of the great classics of religious literature. This rich chapter in Lewiss life, which deals with his love-hate relationship with the new medium of broadcasting, has received little attention from biographers and commentators. Yet it was Lewiss work on the radio that made him a household name. By combining narrative skill and adroitly quoting from correspondence, Phillips captures Lewiss reservations, vexations, achievements, and, finally, his enormous success. C. S. Lewis in a Time of War is a fascinating look at how these talks were created and the enthusiastic response they generated at a time when bombing in London caused many radio stations to be evacuated. This book reveals a rich, previously untapped vein of Lewiss life and work that will intrigue his millions of fans. / CONTENTS Authors Introduction 1. 1 September 1939 2. The BBCs Early Vision 3.
